On today’s episode, I talk with one of the world’s leading authorities on voice, Roger Love – no other vocal coach in history has been more commercially successful in both the speaking and singing fields! He has vocally produced more than 100 million CD sales worldwide, written 3 top selling books, created the bestselling audio programs Vocal Power and The Perfect Voice, and has appeared as a regular in 3 major network TV shows. Roger was the voice coach for the stars of the mega-hit show, GLEE, and Roger’s methods are also taught on the hit show THE VOICE.

The list of movie stars, singers and speakers who Roger has worked with is astounding – check out the episode to hear the star-studded list of people and the awards that Roger has helped them win (Angeline Jolie, Will Ferrell, Anthony Robbins, and Suze Orman are just a few)! You’ll also learn Roger’s tips on how to put your best voice forward by simply changing a few variables that control the way people perceive you and what you are saying. Trust me, you can’t afford NOT to hear what he has to say!

Key Topics from this Episode:

  • The second you start to speak, people are making value judgments about you and asking random questions about you to try to get to know you and decide if they want to listen to you. Worse, they also start to answer the questions!
  • Roger asked, “How can I help people present themselves so they will have control over what other people are perceiving about them?”
  • He came to see that tonality affects people infinitely more than the words you speak. Tonality =
    • Pitch: Is it high or low or some combo?
    • Pace: Do you speak fast or slow? When should you speak
    • Melody: Notes go up and down in a song. Are you a broken
    • Tone: How airy are you? Do you sound like Marilyn Monroe
    • Volume: When should you be loud and when soft? Practice
  • Hearing how you sound and changing those variables can control the perception of people listening.
  • Roger teaches what to do at a comma or period so your listener knows you’re not done and they await the next thing you want to say!
  • Men and women should spend 60% of their speaking time in chest voice, which is lower, but you still need to use plenty of time in head voice and middle voice to create emphasis. fast or slow and how fast or slow? down piano with one note? or a squeaky hinge like Barry White? the diaphragmatic breathing Roger teaches on the call.
